Ghostbusters: Das Buch zum Film (translates to "Ghostbusters: The book about the movie") is a adaptation of the first film written by Jason Dark of "John Sinclair" fame.
Notes[]
This adaptation is known for being loose with a lot of creative license in the writing including: making Egon being sexual, Winston only the driver, and Gozer being described as "like a gay punk".
Back of Book Text[]
Translated from the German release using Google.
Do you have problems with ghosts? Does a poltergeist wake you up at night? Do you get fear in your attic or in the basement?
If you can answer the questions with a yes, you are a case for Ghostbusters, New York's elite force against ghosts, spooks, and phantoms.
They do not do anything possible, only the impossible ... Ghostbusters - to the movie the book by Jason Dark
